Fieldwork Experience: July 2013 Saqaardleq fjord, West Greenland. Oceanographic sampling in a tidewater glacial fjord, towards understanding the dynamics of the interaction between the ocean and melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Fieldwork included sampling from helicopters (XCTD), sampling from small boats (CTD, ADCP, and echosounders), shore-based photogrammetry, sampling with remotely operated vehicles, and mooring deployment/recovery. June 2008 SLEIWEX (St. Lawrence Estuary Internal Wave Experiment) 2008. Major field program jointly funded by CFCAS and NSERC studying internal wave generation, propagation, and dissipation in the St. Lawrence Estuary. I was responsible for much of the fieldwork planning, instrument preparation, and on the fly daily decisions. I also created the official Cruise Plan and a field manual for all the other team members (11 people from 3 different institutions). The data from this fieldwork made up the bulk of my PhD thesis. May 2007 Bedford Institute of Oceanography Labrador Sea AR7W survey aboard the CCGS Hudson. Duties included drawing water samples from bottles and launching XBTs. 2003-2005 Graduate student assistant on field trips for an undergraduate “Introduction to Physical Oceanography” class, Memorial University. Activities included CTD profiling, bottle sampling, and ADCP data collection from a towed body. June 2004 Deployment of the Bonne Bay Marine Observatory (www.bonnebay.ca). Fieldwork in Bonne Bay also included several extended data acquisition cruises in the bay, using CTDs and ADCPs.
